Installation Notes and Tips

Verify axle dimensions before installation, including shaft diameter, outside diameter, and seal width. Inspect the hub, spindle, and sealing surface for wear, scoring, or corrosion before pressing in the new seal. Clean the bore thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. Confirm front axle configuration and notes such as Spicer 44 or 2nd Design Spicer Axle where listed in the vehicle fitment.
